According to the MARY MARY’s Facebook Page, Michael Jackson Received Jesus Christ. "Last night we received some good news from Terri McFaddin-Solomon who is good friends with Sandra Crouch. Three weeks ago Sandra and Andre' spent some time with their close friend, Michael Jackson. Michael asked Andre` to play, "It Won't Be Long And We'll Be Leaving Here." Michael then prayed with Sandra and Andre and accepted Christ into his heart. Now he's singing in the heavenly choir! Our hearts rejoice!"

On Friday afternoon, following the death of Michael Jackson, CNN, Fox, MSNBC all displayed pictures of the Rev. Jesse Jackson appearing outside the home of Michael Jackson alongside Joe Jackson, the patriarch of the Jackson clan. On Saturday morning, Rev. Jackson (who is not related to the Jackson family), released a statement:


"Michael Jackson's family wants a private autopsy of the pop icon because of unanswered questions about how he died and the doctor who was with him. They are grief-stricken. They're hurt because they lost a son. But the wound is now being kept open by the mystery and unanswered questions of the cause of death." An initial autopsy was performed in Los Angeles and officials held a press conference indicating that there was no indication of trauma or foul play, according to the coroners office. It could take several weeks for the final reports to be released. Michael Jackson’s body was released to the family and no decision has yet been made on who would possibly perform the second autopsy or where it might take place. The death of Michael Jackson is the latest in a series of deaths by celebrities that seemingly connected with enormous amounts of stress.

Full Gospel Baptist Fellowship

“More of the Glory” By Bishop Andy C. Lewter, D. Min. Bishop Paul S. Morton reached back to the early days of the Pentecostal Movement to encourage the delegates of the 16th Annual Conference of the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship to reach for “More of the Glory” last Thursday night during his annual message to the conference. Bishop Morton, a son of the Church of God in Christ, has emerged as the premier Baptist pastor in the country. Last week, he wove into his sermon a review of the Asuza Street Revival that lasted from 1906-1912 and gave birth to the modern global pentecostal movement, which produced denominations like the Church of God in Christ, Assemblies of God and the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World. However, in his sermon to the Fellowhip, Presiding Bishop Morton preached from Isa. 6:1-4, and encouraged delegates to pursue humility and God’s glory. During the week, Bishop Morton was joined by several other preachers that all complimented the message of Bishop Morton to the conference. Those preachers included Bishop Neil Ellis, Bishop Oscar Brown, Bishop Bobby McCarter, Pastor R. A. Vernon, Dr. Jerry Black, Carolyn Showell, Paula White and several others. In addition to the preaching services, there were outstanding classes from the School of Ministry under the direction of Bishop Tommie Triplett, all night activities for the young adults (ages 18-35) led by General Overseer Terrance Carter and engaging fellowship for the youth designed by General Overseer Christopher Harris.

Education was proud to publicly acknowledge two persons who have completed the curriculum for the Doctorate of Sacred Theology degree form the fellowship’s Graduate School of Theological Studies. Music has always been a major part of the conference and the singing group RIZEN and Marvin Sapp led the way with presentations that inspired those in attendance. A major pre-conference event was a gala and celebration that honored Bishop Morton and his family for 16 years of service. Surprise presentations from Marvin Winans and Ben Tankard rounded out the evening which was a perfect tribute to the man who has given so much of himself to the fellowship and the body of Christ.

STRAIGHT FROM THE STREETS...

“Cornelia Gail is an urban jewel waiting to be put on display. Her books examine the sensational and sometimes surly contours of urban life. Filled with riveting scenes and high octane emotion, she has shrewdly woven these chapters into a positive polemic about rising above poverty, abuse, discouragement and despair and discovering the beauty of life, faith and love after all. Gail is a keen and candid storyteller.” — Doctor Lance D. Watson, St. Paul Baptist Church, Richmond Virginia
